Budget (including currency): less than a wacom mobilestudio pro, preferably less than 1000 usd
Country: usa
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: photoshop, gimp, other art programs that are expected to run smoothly for digital art
Other details: What I'm trying to replicate quality wise https://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-computers/wacom-mobilestudio-pro
The concept is to buy a far cheaper pen display and mount the motherboard to the back making something in a similar form factor.
I'm unsure if an apu would be better than a mini itx or even a raspberry, or possibly (most likely) salvaging a laptop motherboard.
currently I'm looking at the gaomon 156pro as the display which is 344.16 × 193.59mm (13.6" x 7.6") https://www.gaomon.net/Pen_Display/PD156PRO.html
specs I want to match are:
16 gb ram
i7 8559u
whatever the Intel® Iris™ Plus Graphics 655 is (think thats just cpu graphics)
screen resolution isnt as much of an issue to me 1920x1080 should suffice
